Super Mario Bros. Super Show Cartoon Episode 26 – 20,000 Koopas Under the Sea
Having warped to Oceanworld, Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool are searching for someone who will help them in defeating Koopa-Nemo. Unfortunately, as Mario states, Oceanworld is having troubles of its own, and just as Mario says this, a metallic sea monster emerges from the surrounding water. As the monster lets out a roar, Luigi tells Mario, Toad and Princess Toadstool to run. As Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool run, the sea monster swims towards a nearby ship and as the ship's crew jump off of it, bites into and begins to tear the ship apart, eating some of it as well.
As the sea monster devours the ship, Toad points out that the creature has a bigger appetite than Mario, while Princess Toadstool says that it is still hungry. As the sea monster charges towards, Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool begin to run again, as the sea monster draws ever closer to them. As Mario tells Toad to hurry, a large wave, caused by the sea monster, sweeps them, Luigi and Princess Toadstool off their feet and flings them into the nearby town of Happy Harbor; when Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool land, the sea monster, letting out a few more roars, turns around and submerges itself.
Left lying against a barrel, Luigi, before spitting out a mouthful of sea water, shouts Mario's name and asks where the sea monster has gone. As he helps Luigi up with Princess Toadstool, Mario states that he does not know where the monster has gone, he is just glad it left, which Toad, who is pouring water out of his hat, agrees with. After wringing his hat dry, Toad suddenly tells Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool to look nearby, where a crowd of people, surrounding Koopa-Nemo, who is standing on a barrel with two Bloobers at his side, has gathered. As Princess Toadstool yells out Koopa-Nemo's name in shock, Koopa-Nemo tells the surrounding Mushroomers that, unless they make him the ruler of Happy Harbor, the sea monster will destroy them. As Koopa-Nemo tells the Mushroomers to grovel before him and that he will get rid of the sea monster, the Mushroom People talk among themselves; as they talk, the Mushroom People are made aware of Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool's presence by Princess Toadstool, who tells the Mushroom People that Koopa-Nemo is the real monster that needs to be gotten rid of.
As the Mushroom People whisper among themselves once more, Koopa-Nemo asks Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool how they plan to get rid of the sea monster, a question which neither Mario or Princess Toadstool can find an answer too. As Mario and Princess Toadstool stutter, trying to find an answer, a woman by the name of Captain Abidab, a sailor and harpooner, appears and claims that she will get rid of the sea monster; a prospect which Koopa-Nemo scoffs at, saying that the populace of Happy Harbor should not blame him when the sea monster comes to wreck their homes. After he says this, Koopa-Nemo takes a seat on his barrel and instructs his two Bloober associates to pick him and carry him away, which the Bloobers do. With Koopa-Nemo gone, Captain Abidab proceeds to ask the surrounding people who will be her crew in the hunt for the sea monster; just as Captain Abidab finishes asking this question, all the surrounding Mushroom People run away, leaving Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool as the Captain Abidab volunteers.
Trivia & Bloopers
- In the title card, J. Larry Carroll's surname is misspelled as "Carrol". Additionally, in the French dub's title card, David Bennett Carren's middle name is misspelled as "Bennet". Shortly after, Toad is almost as tall as Mario.
- When Mario and his friends spot the Koopilus for the first time, the sound effects for running and jumping are heard out of sync. Shortly after, when they run away, Mario freezes for a split-second.
- After Princess Toadstool points out Koopa-Nemo, Koopa-Nemo's tail spikes are colored orange instead of white.
- When the Bloobers are carrying Koopa-Nemo away, Koopa-Nemo's belly flashes.
- This is one of the three episodes where King Koopa uses an alter ego, but not a costume, the others being "The Pied Koopa" and "Hooded Robin and His Mario Men".
- This episode is one of the few episodes where Toad can be seen without his cap, where after the Marios land in Happy Harbor, he briefly takes it off to remove water from it.
- With the Plumber's Log removed from the French dub, and Oceanworld not mentioned anywhere else, this leaves the location the episode takes place ambiguous in the French dub.

20,000 Koopas Under the Sea
Vampire Until Ready (Live Action Sketch)
In Mario Brothers Plumbing, Mario is attempting to swat a bat with a rolled-up newspaper as he and Luigi wait for an exterminator to arrive that night. When Luigi notices that the bat has stolen the food on his plate, he angrily throws his napkin on the ground and stands up; as he vows to catch the bat, the animal suddenly lands on his hat, allowing Mario, with help from Luigi, to successfully catch the bat off guard and cover it using Luigi's napkin, accidentally knocking Luigi to the ground in the process.
Pulling the napkin off Luigi's head, Mario sees the bat is gone and believes he has captured it; just as Luigi gets off the ground, the doorbell of the apartment rings and a pale-looking man, who Mario identifies as the exterminator, enters the building. Though Mario tells the exterminator he has arrived too late and that the bat has already been caught, shaking the napkin, Mario and Luigi are both surprised to find that there is no bat in it. As Mario and Luigi wonder what has happened, the exterminator says that they shall soon find out, before letting out a sinister laugh and showing his abnormally pointed teeth.
Later, as they stand around the table, the exterminator tells Mario and Luigi that he will investigate their problem before leaving the room to look around. When the exterminator leaves, Mario and Luigi find themselves surprised when the bat returns and begins to fly around. Yelling and trying to tell the exterminator that the bat is nearby, Mario and Luigi succeed in alerting the exterminator and scaring the bat away. Running up to Mario and Luigi, the exterminator asks them where the bat is, and, seeing nothing, begins to give Mario and Luigi a strange look, which Luigi interprets as meaning the exterminator thinks they are lying. Reassuring the exterminator that there really is a bat, Luigi tells him to keep an open mind, which the exterminator responds to by saying he will keep an open mind if Luigi keeps an open collar, a statement which confuses Luigi.
After talking with Luigi and Mario, the exterminator excuses himself to go to the bathroom; as the exterminator leaves, the bat arrives once again, only to leave prior to the return of the exterminator, who soon claims to the Mario Brothers that there was never a bat in the apartment at all. As the man proceeds to exit through the main door, Luigi begins to think about how odd it is that whenever the bat is in the room, the exterminator is not and vice versa. Hearing this, Mario realizes something that shocks him.
